Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me.

Theme Thursday: Smile

Rules*A theme will be posted each week on Thursday*Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from your current book that features the theme*Post it and don't forget to mention the author and title of the book*Event is open for the whole week*Link back to Reading Between the Pages

This week's theme is SMILE (laugh, grin, giggle, guffaw, etc).

Here's mine from No Body by Nancy Pickard (p. 2):

"It has happened, Faye, I said in mournful tones. "I knew it would someday. Leave a man alone in a room with tax forms for too many years, and eventually he cracks up. A man can take a lot, you know, prisoners of war have proved it time and again...torture, deprivation, loneliness. But the tax forms of the United States government are beyond the capacity of a sane man to behold and withstand, and every time our representatives, in their wisdom, 'improve' and 'shorten' the damn things, accountants all over the country get that much closer to the precipice that Marv here has obviously just plunged over."
